Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 743

"Well, I've been fascinated by this thing ever since my husband made the first sand table, so I usually put more thought into it." Deng Ai nodded with a smile.

Jiang Wei was very surprised when he heard this, because during his stay in Xiabian, he only had a glimpse and thought it was made by Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect it to be written by Lan Tian again.

"Who is Lingshi? Why does it feel like his influence is everywhere?" Jiang Wei asked his soul.

Deng Ai replied solemnly: "Sir, he knows astronomy above all and geography below. He is a rare genius, but he keeps a low profile and does not want to be famous, so he has been unknown for so many years, until Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou last time."

"It's no wonder that General Lan has only made a statement in the past two years. I'm afraid that the King of Hanzhong can have the current situation, and he has a great relationship with General Lan, right?" Jiang Wei asked again.

"Your Majesty regards you like a thigh, and his status is almost equal to that of General Guan." Deng Ai said.

"No wonder he has such a high prestige." Jiang Wei nodded to express his understanding, and then added a question: "Since General Lan has the talent to manage the world, is there anyone in this world that he admires?"

Deng Ai replied: "Sir, I highly respect Prime Minister Zhuge."

"If you want to come to Mr. Wolong, you are not just waiting for it." Jiang Wei stroked the edge of the sand table and sighed.

Seeing Jiang Wei staring at the sand table in a daze, Deng Ai knew that this person was also a fellow military man, so he didn't disturb Jiang Wei's thinking. He walked to the table alone and took out a paper book sent by Lantian. It was compiled by Xi et al., and it is also the teaching material of Guangzhou Academy.

The textbooks of Guangzhou Academy are not circulated to the outside world. Lan Tian, ​​out of compensation to his disciple Deng Ai, prepared textbooks for him so that although Deng Ai does not study in the academy, he is equivalent to a student who graduated from the academy.

"Mencius? Brother Shi Zai also likes to read Confucian classics? It's just that you are a paper book?" When Jiang Wei saw the book in Deng Ai's hand, he couldn't help but exclaimed. This was more exciting than discovering the sand table just now.

Deng Ai nodded, pointing to the bookshelf beside the table and replied: "I usually read books when I have nothing to do. They are all sent to me by my husband in the past few years. Besides, paper books are nothing new."

Jiang Wei showed an exaggerated expression: "Brother Shi Zai's "Mencius", wouldn't it also be annotated by General Lan? Aren't paper books expensive? The paper on the market is not easy to buy."

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "This "Mencius" was compiled with annotations by Mr. Cheng Guo (Liu Xi). The price of paper is not high here, and there are paper workshops in many places."

"Mr. Cheng Guo?" Jiang Wei showed a puzzled expression.

Deng Ai replied: "It's Beihai Liu Xi, styled Chengguo, who is currently the Zhiyuan of Guangzhou Academy."

Jiang Wei nodded, "After you said that, I remembered it. It is rumored that Mr. Cheng Guo (Liu Xi) took his family to Jiaozhou to avoid disaster due to the war in the Central Plains. He should be very old now, right?"

"Mr. Cheng Guo, he is sixty-four this year, and he is still in good health, but the official affairs of Guangzhou Academy are basically done by Mr. Junqing (Zhao Shuang), the deputy prefect." ", handed it to Jiang Wei and added: "Guangzhou Academy now has enough teaching materials, so it is doing very well. My husband told me to 'live and learn', so I specially sent these teaching materials."

"Brother Shi Zai is really lucky. You made me really want to go to Jiaozhou, and I really want to go to Guangzhou Academy to study for a few years." Jiang Wei sighed.

Deng Ai shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't think too much about it, Boyue. The Guangzhou Academy only needs ten-year-old boys. We are all over our age now, but with the help of my husband, it doesn't make much difference whether we go or not."

"Why is Guangzhou Academy like this? I'm just a weak crown, why can't I enter the academy?" Jiang Wei wondered.

Deng Ai explained: "What Mr. advocates is to apply what you have learned. He thinks that understanding and memory are better before the crown ceremony, and it is more suitable for intensive lectures in the school. After the crown ceremony, it is a good time to do things, so you should not go to school to learn about it. , you should devote your energy to temples and folks to create, as for higher pursuits, you can learn by yourself."

"General Lan is really well-intentioned." Jiang Wei just sighed halfway, and suddenly found that the size of the writing on the paper was the same, and the distance and strokes were basically the same. He asked in amazement: "Brother Shi Zai, the writing on this paper does not seem to be human. transcribed?"

Deng Ai replied with a smile: "Manual transcription was the earliest stupid method. Now these books and newspapers are all printed. As long as the template is prepared, they can be printed quickly. It is faster and less error-prone than manual transcription."

"Isn't General Lan thinking of these?" Jiang Wei asked, but he had already equated the two in his heart.

"Bo Yue's guess is right. In fact, you don't need to go to Guangzhou Academy. I have all their textbooks here. If you want to see if I can lend you." Deng Ai has always kept a smile on his face since he entered the room.

"Is it really possible? That's really great." Jiang Wei looked happy.

Deng Ai nodded, "Bo Yue can be seen by my husband. It's only a matter of time before I want to read these books. I'm just doing it with a little effort."

Jiang Wei closed the "Book of Changes Notes" in his hand, and looked greedily at the bookshelf beside Deng Ai. He found a wooden box on the shelf, and the outside of the wooden box was painted with maroon lacquer. Jiang Wei guessed that the books in the wooden box must be precious.

"Brother Shi Zai, is that wooden box next to you?" Jiang Wei asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Deng Ai put his hand on the wooden box, and then replied kindly: "This is used to store letters. I write to my husband every month, and he replies to me almost every month. If you are not careful, you will save the letter." A box full."

"Communicate letters every month? Are there really so many things to say? Besides, General Lan is far away in Jiaozhou, so the journey is not so fast, right?" Jiang Wei looked curious.

"I have developed a habit of writing letters to my husband at the beginning of the month. Whether it is farming, military use, people's livelihood, or government affairs, I will ask him for advice on everything. If there is no problem in a certain month, I will also write a letter to say goodbye , and ask for a new recipe by the way." Deng Ai scratched his head showing a shy expression.

Zhang Fei said before that Lan Tian was a superb cooker. Jiang Weixin said that Brother Shi Zai is really smart and never wastes the opportunity to communicate with General Lan. Thinking of this, Jiang Wei asked curiously: "Are Brother Shi Zai's parents still alive? How does General Lan treat you?" Really nice."

"A plague was prevalent in Nanyang back then, and both my parents died in that disaster." Deng Ai said very flatly, as if he was telling other people's affairs.

"I'm really sorry." Jiang Wei was very embarrassed.

"I don't remember much about my childhood. Later, I was lucky enough to meet my husband. Although I am not his biological son, I already regard him as my father. My husband and my wife have treated me with kindness and kindness." Deng Ai replied solemnly.

Jiang Wei tried to resolve the embarrassment, so he joked with a smile: "I heard that General Lan's two sons are both dragons and phoenixes in the world. Will brother Shi Zai feel depressed?"
